The truth is, as usual, when it comes to the dishonest media, nothing could be further from the truth\u2026<\/p>\n<h2>According to a paper by researchers from Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh, Americans with PhDs are the most hesitant when it comes to getting the COVID jab. According to the survey, they are also the least likely to change their minds about getting the shot.<\/h2>\n<p><a

five million US adults in an online survey, with 10,000 reporting that they were educated to Ph.D. level.<\/p>\n<p>The report showed a surprising U-shaped correlation between willingness to get a Covid vaccine and education level \u2013 with the highest hesitancy among those least and most educated.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_127049\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"

correlated with vaccine hesitancy \u2013 more educated people are more likely to receive the vaccine.<\/h2>\n<p>But researchers also found that within the first five months of 2021, the largest decrease in skepticism about getting the vaccine was among the least educated \u2013 those with a high school education or less.<\/p>\n<div class=\"z-ad-mypillow-inline
